With eight consecutive weeks of reduction in the curve of Covid-19 cases in the country, the health authority reports that “the activity that occurs” is already “minimal” compared to the two previous years of the epidemic.
However, the health authority washes its hands of saying that this situation is subject to maintaining low transmission conditions. What is certain is that the country is heading towards a point of minimum activity that will last for several weeks.
In fact, the previous week there was a 97% reduction in hospital occupancy, while mortality shows a 96% decrease. As we have mentioned in this space, one of the elements that has allowed the significant reduction in infections and the generation of serious cases of Covid-19 has to do, without a doubt, with the level of vaccination. To date, 188,533,607 doses have been applied with 90 percent coverage.
Regarding the reinforcement of the anti-Covid vaccine, the country registers 71% coverage in those over 60 years of age; 48% in the sector from 40 to 59 years old and 73% in the sector from 30 to 39 years old. Until the previous week, 224 million doses have been received from different pharmaceutical firms.
During this week, all entities in the country remain at a green traffic light, but as we have said in this space, this is not the time to lower our guard, because not everyone has the same level of vaccination. In fact, there are countries that have made little progress in anti-Covid vaccination, which is why the possibility remains that new variants of the virus will be generated and, therefore, the probability of contagion.
At the time, but here we do not take our finger off the line: and the anti-Covid vaccine for children under 12 years of age, for when?
All for one and one for all. That is why TOTVS is a firm of Brazilian origin that offers business management software, especially to SMEs. With 19 years of presence in Mexico, the best is yet to come, as it hopes that our country will become its second most important market in the American subcontinent.
Damián Malfatti, director of TOTVS México, of Argentine origin but based in our country for a year, highlighted that the firm has had an annualized growth of more than 20% and although he accepted that the pandemic had effects, like the rest of the companies , they were able to get around it with their faces forward.
Just to give an idea: in 2021, the Brazilian company reported consolidated net income of 3.2 billion dollars, which represented a growth of 24% and an adjusted EBITDA of 782 million dollars, that is, 33% more compared to the previous year.
In previous years, TOTVS has been able to venture strongly into the logistics and automotive industries, especially due to the enormous presence and activity shown by these sectors throughout the country.
From the perspective of this company from Rio de Janeiro, our country has a lot of strength for an exponential development in the use of business technology, even higher than what is registered in the rest of the region.
Currently, 75% of the TOTVS client portfolio is from the following sectors: agribusiness, construction, hotels, industry 4.0 and services, to which they offer business management software and artificial intelligence (AI) services, process automation, human resource personnel management and financial systems, to name a few.
To date, the firm has corporate offices in Mexico City and offices in Monterrey and Guadalajara, as well as a research and development (R&D) center in Querétaro, which has given it the strength to compete with large firms. of the technology sector.
In Malfatti’s opinion, Mexico has a stable economy compared to other Latin American nations, which “generates confidence in the business sector to continue investing in the technology field.”
To conclude, the company from Rio has plans to maintain its presence in the country, thanks to the large number of existing SMEs. Even with enormous competition in the business solutions market, TOTVS Mexico prefers to strengthen its presence in companies that still lack technological tools, raise their productivity and make them more competitive.
